In Burkina Faso

PASC

The Burkinabe Ministry of Culture's desire to see the creation of a portal at the service of Burkinabe
artists' international visibility, combined with financial backing from the Support Programme to the ACP
Cultural Sectors – financed by the European Development Fund (EDF) – made it possible to create the
first national portal based on the Southplanet site. Datas have been collected by the Africultures Burkina
Faso association, in Ouagadougou.

In Mali

PADESC

With the backing of the PADESC, the third Cultural Sectors Support Programme, implemented in the
framework of Mali - European Union cooperation, the Culturesmali.net website has been developed. It
lists all Malian cultural operators and a significant number of artists in the country.
The site was officially launched in Bamako on 20 September 2011 in the presence of the Malian
Minister of Culture.

Arterial Network and Arts in Africa

The pan-African Arterial Network network is associated with Southplanet. The different countries'
chapters help the project to take root on the ground and have a space reserved for their national
portals. The new version of the Arts in Africa site will be linked to the Southplanet database.
